Life with Nonverbal Autism - Philip Reyes

"I Have Nonverbal Autism. Here’s What I Want You to Know."

"I want people to know autism is another way of being. I am weary of stereotypes that make us out to be less human than neurotypical people. I have listened to people talk negatively about autism since I was diagnosed and, as a result, I learned to hate myself and think I was a monster for causing so much hardship. I can’t let others continue living under these common misconceptions about autism."

"I think living with autism is no better or worse than living a typical life. Each life is special in its own way. I love my life with autism."


Can we bring it back around to the Gospel? Yes we can. Isn't grace amazing?
